Strategy for selling a house - what is the best way to proceed?

I had come to terms with him internally :D but I like to learn! Thanks :) How much time was on your side and did you offer your interested parties a concession on the price/rent?

I was referring to the difference which, in my opinion, is tolerable compared to the otherwise most attractive offer from a "completely unfamiliar" interested party so far.

There are many buyers who observe the market in the form of ads with their search criteria for a longer time. When they see the price falling, they assume (correctly?) that the seller does not have all the time in the world and see a starting point for further negotiations. Or they suspect a catch that only becomes visible later, which is why no one is really willing to buy the property. Those who think this way are immediately put off. Ultimately, a price reduction always reveals a pressure to act on the part of the seller. How much, in turn, depends on the location and the property.

I just wanted to express that I believe the difference will be bigger.

I would definitely not sell off the market these days. You only get ripped off that way. Mid last year I sold my parents' house. In the end, we got 25 thousand euros more than listed – and it was already listed at a cheeky price. Ultimately, 6 interested parties wanted to buy the house at the listed price. We then decided on a sealed bidding process. The house was bought by a well-earning couple. Still, the financing bank had doubts about the purchase price in the end, as it was too high from their perspective. The end result: a loan from the family + a seller loan of 20 thousand euros and the deal was done.
